Brothers Team

John Martindale, CEO

John Martindale, CEO of Brothers Services, began his construction career 25 years ago as a production manager for a design/build firm, learning every facet of residential and commercial building. As one of the founders of Brothers, he implemented his vision of a faith-based construction business treating customers the way family should, with value and excellence, while implementing high tech innovation, optimizing business and operational processes, and facilitating the growth of a startup company to one he believed could be "the best."

In 1996, John became President, after purchasing Brothers from his partner. In 1999, Brothers was transformed from a wholesale company to include retail based exterior services (roofing, siding, windows and doors) to homeowners and property managers, while developing an award-winning reputation in Maryland, as "the best." In 2003, Brothers expanded to commercial roofing, landscaping, masonry, decks, exterior living, and golfscapes. While guiding the company through turbulent economic times, Brothers Services was recognized by the Baltimore Business Journal as one of the fastest growing companies in Baltimore. John is a past president of the Maryland Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and received his MBA from Loyola University.

Steve Zwagil, President

As president, Steve Zwagil oversees all operations and financial management of Brothers. Steve was a fellow alum with John Martindale, obtaining his MBA at Loyola, and while working together on a project, found they had similar character values and vision for excellence in business, though from different faiths as their foundation. They quickly found a sense of brotherhood, and John was able to eventually persuade Steve to bring his considerable management savvy to help Brothers grow healthily and with a long term perspective. As a licensed CPA, and former CFO of successful growth companies, including mortgage, IT, staffing and CPA firms, Steve is a stabilizing influence grounded in good business.

Steve's background in successful corporate mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, investor management, accounting and tax management, valuation analysis, business planning, debt and equity financing, growth strategies, profitability analysis, and contracts review, provide a wealth of experience to help Brothers grow not only bigger, but better, now and in the future.

Wayne Watkins, VP Production

As Vice President of Production, Wayne Watkins brings 28 years of excellence in every aspect of construction, from "in-the-field" craftsmanship to production management. Wayne has been certified by GAF and Owens Corning, and is especially knowledgeable in roofing, from every type of shingle to ventilation mathematics. His responsibilities include overseeing production of roofing (new construction, re-roofing, commercial, service repairs), reviewing sales specifications, and managing Brothers' award winning employee safety program.

Wayne loves to educate customers in the process, help them determine what they really need, and find their best solutions. Due to his significant field experience and understanding of construction, he often identifies excellent and unique solutions to problems others don't think can be solved.
